May be incorrectly installed with pad material against pistons at first. Mistake was realised due the horrific noise!

If you turn them round when they’re worn you get double the value?

Looks like they've had it all, put in backwards, used on a too small rotor and used in a badly aligned caliper. Have the pistons survived the abuse unscathed.

Definitely this. Speaking as someone who has had a rotor shear, I can say this is a must.

Luckily I had done most of the stopping when the braking surface was cut in half....
